Monochrome

  • Hours of Henry VIII at the Morgan Library and Museum
    • Everything about this manuscript is amazing, but I am particularly inspired by the monochrome borders with gold highlighting.  And such colors! There are cobalt blue + gold, sepia + gold, and even a rich blue-green + gold borders.  Bonus: it has images of the astrological signs in circles at the bottom center of the borders.
